Becoming a freshman in high school is all about learning new things — like your hand is too big to fit inside a chain a link fence.

Wilton's Maeve Kennard, right in top photo, found that out the hard way following the Warriors' FCIAC semifinal win over New Canaan on Monday night at Dunning Field. The freshman has been pulled up to the varsity squad to the playoff and she was reaching through the fence to pick up a beverage she had left behind. Hydration, after all, is important.

Come to find out, though, Kennard has grown a bit since she last tried this trick and next thing you know, she's surrounded by giggling Warriors and coach Caitlin Jackson shaking her head with a smile on her face.

All of the Warriors upperclassmen played their role to perfection — leaving the poor newcomer to fend for herself.

Laura Knapp, pictured at left, a freshman classmate of Kennard was there to save the day.

Somehow she got her hands on some butter and a plastic knife (I've learned not to ask people where they got knives) and literally started buttering her teammate up and allowing her to escape.

It was a funny moment that will be remembered for the rest of this season — not to mention for the entire career of Kennard and Knapp.

And when the two are seniors and the Wilton Lacrosse Association is looking to put together their year-end/career end photo album, they know who to come too for the pictures of the Great Escape.
